Description
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves using a small device with tiny needles to puncture the skin. This creates micro-injuries that stimulate the body's natural healing response, which in turn increases collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin are two proteins that are essential for healthy, youthful looking skin. Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.
How To
The first step in microneedling is to make sure that your skin is clean and free of any makeup or skincare products. Next, your skincare professional will apply a numbing cream to your skin to minimize any discomfort during the procedure. Once the numbing cream has taken effect, the microneedling device will be gently pressed against your skin, creating tiny punctures. The entire procedure usually takes around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Step By Step
Here is a step-by-step guide to microneedling:
- Cleanse your skin
- Apply numbing cream
- Prepare microneedling device

Hair Care
Microneedling can also be used on the scalp to help stimulate hair growth. The procedure is similar to facial microneedling, but the device is designed specifically for use on the scalp. Microneedling can help increase blood flow to the hair follicles, which in turn can promote hair growth. It is recommended that you get 4-6 microneedling treatments on the scalp, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, for best results.
